yes, it is recommended that all budding
and novice Comp pilots complete a Speedweek or
similar before their first Comp.
when Paul Mander runs Speedweek there is
emphasis is on Comp preparation. Final Glides
and FG planning is part of that. A great place
with a structured low stress environment to
learn and practice these key aspects.

From my observations, circuit finishes happen
most often with novice competition pilots who
are not yet comfortable with straight-ins and
/ or unable to fine-tune the final glide arriving with too much altitude.
Sometimes you may also see this when the
designated duty runway is so congested that
it is safer to join the circuit to an alternative runway.

RE: [Aus-soaring] Potential dangers in the sport of gliding
Yeah, it can happen, but only on good blue
days, when your normal inter-thermal glide
speed is about 100 knots or so, and you are
already on, or close to, final glide . If your
VNE is say 135 knots, and you find/stumble
upon a nice energy line in the blue, you can
be at VNE surprisingly quickly. On Cu days,
you can usually allow for this by looking well
ahead, starting the final glide early, and
gradually pulling up under the clouds onto the optimal final glide path.

expect for the rare occasion, if you come in
with that much energy on final glide in a
comp, then you screwed up the planning of the final glide

There are no low level finished in the comps,
the vast majority of comp finishes are
straight-ins which are really long
finals. The rest, for people who have too
much energy for a straight in, they are regular circuits.
Most comps explicitly forbid low level, high energy finishes (aka bit ups).

Well, sure, you could give
strong-feelings-and-make-believe a try if you
want, but if you canât baseline a
âbeforeâ and âafterâ picture Iâm not
sure how youâll work out whether or not
youâve advanced the state of the art.
There have been a significant number of accidents and fatalities in
the last few years during comps which were related a style of flying
which is unique to comps
low finishes.
Is that a true statement?
This type of accident is rare or non-existent outside comp flying.
Is that a true statement?
